We take your properties up the SI ladder
The SI Ladder is our approach to improving energy efficiency. Step by step, we guide your properties up the ladder, achieving better control, lower energy consumption and more stable operations. Each step builds on the previous one – from understanding the current situation and managing the systems correctly, to monitoring, optimising and developing the property over time.
Our method for energy efficiency
Where do your properties rank on the scale?
In the film, you’ll gain a better understanding of the services and products associated with each step.
Most of our clients are at different stages in different parts of their property portfolio – and that’s perfectly normal. Together, we’ll look at the current situation and see what the next step will be for your specific properties.
Building knowledge
You cannot make something more efficient if you do not understand it
We start by analysing how the property actually uses energy. This gives us a clear picture of the current situation and where the energy is going, what discrepancies there are, and which measures are likely to have the greatest impact. We can also offer suggestions on how to measure things correctly, as all subsequent steps rely on reliable data.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Current situation, potential and a list of priority actions, as well as supporting documentation for legal requirements and the bank’s credit assessment.
System control
The right technology, set up correctly – right from the start
Once the requirements are clear, we build the control system. We design, programme, install and commission control and monitoring systems that are completely vendor-independent and use open protocols, so that you are never locked into a single supplier. Heating, ventilation, cooling and lighting work in harmony rather than at cross-purposes. We build a system designed to function in the long term and to be expandable.
Here’s what you’ll get:
A facility that does the right things at the right time. You’ll have a foundation and infrastructure for everything that comes next.
Connect and monitor
From an on-site installation to a connected property
We connect the property’s systems and consolidate operational, energy and management data into a single interface. You can monitor the property’s condition in real time. You can view alerts, readings and statuses on dashboards tailored to your staff’s roles. Our operations centre can monitor alerts on your behalf, analyse them and take action. We offer everything from enhanced support to full management.
Here’s what you’ll get:
An overview rather than surprises. Faults are detected before the tenant has a chance to get in touch.
Optimise function
It is in reality that the facility reveals itself
A system that has been correctly designed does not always perform as intended during operation. A system that has passed its final inspection is not the same as an optimised system. In this stage, we analyse how the systems actually operate, fine-tune setpoints, control curves and timing, and correct deviations that rarely trigger an alarm but cost money every day. Often, some of the biggest savings lie here, without a single new investment in technology.
Here’s what you’ll get:
A more consistent indoor climate and a more stable facility.
Follow up and analyse
Follow up and analyse
Follow up on what is working and analyse what needs improving
We collect energy data regardless of its source and organise it to reflect your operations. You can normalise the data to a typical year, make forecasts, compare properties with one another and, most importantly, verify the impact of measures implemented. This monitoring serves as both a basis for your decision-making and your quality assurance, and provides a basis for sustainability reporting.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Documentation of the results of the measures and early warning signs when things start to go off course.
Optimise with AI
That final one per cent that people don’t have time for
Where manual optimisation ends, AI takes over. SI Smartware acts as a layer on top of the existing control system, without the need for new hardware. It proactively controls the supply water temperature based on weather forecasts, room sensors and operating settings. This optimisation works systematically round the clock and improves with every passing day. You retain full control and can pause or switch it off directly within the control system.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Further savings, more consistent comfort and fewer complaints – a building that learns for itself.
Continuous development
There is no final step on this journey. Businesses change, expand, tenants move out, the climate shifts and technology evolves. That is why monitoring and optimisation are an ongoing process, not a project with an end date. We go back, reassess, make adjustments and raise the bar again – year after year.
